China Machado

I am China, pronounced as Chee-na. And I think it's time the world lets older women age gracefully. ”

I wonder if it is harder for a woman who was beautiful to get older or a woman who was never looked at. ”

If there's one thing I could attribute my strength to, I would say it's the gift of laughter, which I inherited from my mother's side. ”

I cook the food of Macau, my roots and soul food. ”

I have some regrets that I might have hurt men in my life. But they can take care of themselves. ”

No man has ever paid a single bill in my life - I didn't want it. ”

You can't worry about ageing because that's the worst thing. If you start, then you just keep finding more things you don't like, and then you're finished. There are a lot of things I could have done to my face, but it would never stop. ”

I have always done things that made me happy. I work with people I like, and I do the job I like. I only see people who I like to be with. I have led a wonderful life. ”

When you look at the runway now, the girls are 15 and 16 years old with no knowledge of clothes, no idea how to project themselves. I was trained how to show off the dress, how to move to make the clothes look better. ”

Age is not a taboo in the fashion industry. One should learn what to wear to look good at any age. ”
